This November will mark the 49th NMSU Aggies basketball season inside the legendary Pan American Center. It opened up on November 30, 1968.

New Mexico State is 506-152 (80%) all-time inside the Pan American Center.

The highest attended game occurred on December 15th 1990. New Mexico State led by future NBA Champion Randy Brown against New Mexico led by future NBA Champion Luc Longley (both played for the Chicago Bulls). New Mexico State handed New Mexico a 72-64 win in front of 14,845.





NMSU entered the 1991 NCAA Tournament as the 11th rated basketball team in the nation by the AP and Coaches Polls.

Here are some more memorable games at the Pan American Center.
